To the igorant commenters...gravity is a theory that Einstein designed around Newton's law of attraction...after bin attended of it flaws...a new theory to adress these arose...general relativity. Make no mistake theory is not law wich can be measured and reproduced with same outcome.Ancient maps are made op of 360 degree circles from nods. Plato even drew a map with earth magnetic fields and crosspoint on it. Ancients knew about them and used them for energy, healing and their seeds. Tesla knew it and used it in his induction motor...his free energy was put into a safe.Forget what you learned in school about these Einstein nonsense. Look at the true proven Laws of Physics,chemistry,electrotechnics and physiology. All depend on charge and discharge.Electricity doesn't runs true a wire it is voidance and counter-voidance between the proton of the wire and the proton aplaid to the wire that creates the field around the wire and makes it charged. Stop paretting start thinking instead of blindly excepting someone elses theories. Be wise as a serpent!

A copy paste mix of incoherent diatribe padded out with plagiarism.

Anyone rating this nonsense with 5 stars is one of Wheelers cult like fanatics nourished by his word salad.

Often contradict, often repeating.

Simplexly don't waste your time.

This text is simply stupid, wrong and misleading I had hard time reading 99% of this crap.
I specially liked the part where he wrote Einstein is responsible for none of modern achievements we use in daily life.... wooow... I guess he never learned who defined photoelectric effect (you know... thing solar panels are based on)... wooow...

All the Ken Wheeler hatred is disappointing. He offers well informed and studied perspective on nature and cosmic totally the Einstein regurgitating PHD's of quantum physics. Great book. Also, check out his early videos early Buddhist doctrine, if interested. Theoria Apophasis, truly..

Ken has been called out many times on his YT channel for his copy and paste of Viktor Schauberger's work. He makes over $90K a year from his many videos, of which Many are just his repeating the sam thing over and over again but with a new title(clickbait).
I watch as he bans people who ask him about the "discoveries" he has plagiarized and it's not fair.
He has quoted Schauberger and Russell only to call them ignorant, fools, and not having much worth in their material with their pretentious nonsense.
He has cast such a diversion to anyone looking for the information he presents and trying to make sense out of his rants and fumblings it is atrocious.
Anyone looking for more information is always given the same drawn out analogies while he masks the orginal source to sound like he isn't a blatant plagiarist, which he clearly is.
Bill Gaede is a prim example of a living source who has been plagarized by Ken and his parroting intellect.
Always reveal your sources as well as your direct quotes when you choose to include somethng in print!

Not only is the author derivative, but he is also utterly clueless.

The author seems to think that he demonstrates the shortcomings of the established theory and proposes an alternative.

Most of this is just lifted from other nonsense websites and the author never really says anything beyond incomprehensible word salad. When he does string a coherent sentence together, it usually contradicts an earlier statement (if not the sentence that directly preceded it). The average flat earther could put a more coherent text together.

Norman Cook wrote a book on the structure of the nucleus where he demonstrates the shortcomings of the current understanding of the atom and proposes another model. Although the model Norman proposes is fundamentally incorrect, he does demonstrate how one should go about writing a text like this.

First, you give an overview of the established theory to inform the reader of the current understanding and demonstrate that you have the required understanding.

Secondly, you demonstrate the shortcomings of the theory outlined in part 1.

Thirdly, you propose an alternative and demonstrate how this addresses some of the shortcomings.

Finally, you evaluate.

Norman Cook followed these steps and even though his alternative is demonstrably incorrect, it did get published by a reputable publisher.

Ken Wheeler doesn't bother, he takes a different approach. He doesn't try to dazzle with brilliance, he baffles with bullshit.

On every page, Ken demonstrates that he does not understand the theory that he is trying to disprove. He does not bother trying to define any of the terms in the context of how he uses them. He definitely doesn't provide a viable alternative - there is no part of this which is coherent, correct, or even internally consistent.

Recently Ken mentioned how you can read someones book and write your own book which is what pushed me to write about this person and their regurgitations.
There are panhandlers everywhere and they keep getting craftier while taking advantage of those who feel sorry or just want to help. Sadly there is no helping people like this who have their head down while putting their hands out and begging.
I came across this mans channel on Youtube channel on 10/13/2018 through researching people mentioned and not mentioned whatsoever in this work. It had seemed off to me with the second quote in the book being uncredited and with this the red flags were being logged. Soon it sounded like copy and paste from various books I had grown up reading still ring clear from scientists that were not generally popular but have followings. I had noticed them mentioned in passing in some of his videos which led me to his work in the first place so it was odd seeing him use their words so freely on videos where they were never mentioned as if he was their reincarnation while asking for donations.
If you print this book and use a highlighter or black marker and go over the insults you will can put another name on the work. Multiple names.
After taking a class in Ken Wheeler I can write a book the same way he had. I will wait for the finalized version to upload the areas where he borrows. Recently Bill Gaede had made a video series on Ken, he is also one of those that Ken had praised for years and decided to blatantly copy and paste without credit, with both visuals and words.
We are not handed anything new here other than whiteout over their origins. Disgusting and speaks numbers for their character. If you like this message you could drop a buck or two, or stop and see through what you are being handed as you are being mocked openly.

I'm taking time to write a brief review so that prospective readers may have a realistic scope of the work in question, and to rebut the absurd child like tantrum reviews which are obviously designed to cause the reader to think this is some assembly of crackpot science. It isn't, it's formed upon the words of the greatest scientific minds our species has known, and from their words and ideas has Wheeler assembled a text which is undoubtedly a landmark literally work that is and will, without any doubt whatsoever, destroy Einsteinian Physics, for there can be escape from truth.

This book is a truth blitzkrieg, a very upsetting one evidently, but a truth nevertheless: "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." Arthur Schopenhauer

If you're looking to discover the truth about magnetism then you've come to the right book. As a bonus, you get a history of where scientific thought went wrong, whose responsible, as well as a complete dissection of the fundamental errors which have lead to the such fields as quantum physics, electron theory, and other insane, if not altogether stupid information which now passes for knowledge. Opposed to that you get to know where and who are the truther's as opposed to the liars in science, the idiots in science, and the people who only think they know because they spent another 12 years of after high school education in order obtain a PHD in fields of pseudo science like quantum physics. Which makes me wonder if the future is going to be filled with class action law suits over education loans against Universities and Colleges selling fraud as science.

This text is not something to take lightly. Science being taught in today's colleges and universities are based on fundamental errors which have lead ever greater mistakes and misunderstandings such that now pure fantasy passes for physics and electrical theory.

I don't think Ken mentions this in his book but in fact
Philo Taylor Farnsworth, to whom we owe the debt of the electric television, denied that there was such a thing as an electron, insisting that it was instead a line of force. He later caved in to appease his corporate masters agenda, but he himself never believed in electron theory. Now if that doesn't tell you how wrong it must be than nothing will.

This is a text to be referenced. It is a work which has very deep knowledge and understanding of the reality of where energy comes from and how. Do not expect that reading this is a one shot deal. Not if you want to actually understand your Universe. This isn't about magnetism, though it is that too, rather it is about the nature of reality.

Finally, in conclusion, Ken should have a Nazi for an editor. I would be very interested in assisting in that regard, however, if you can get past repetitions and Einstein Bashing, totally justified but equally about as useful as stuffing spurs under the saddle, then you will be able to use the information in this book for your own insights. Again, this is a landmark text in the field of science and if history is any guide the reason it's being ignored by the establishment is because of that fact, which again is deeply upsetting. Read it and be glad you did is my advice.

If one should take anything from this well put together and a seemingly intellectual chain of reasonable and collective "facts" of someone believes what he has brought to the table to is actual facts and evidence and not theories and of who has done their research and home work that goes against mainstream teachings is just that. Which is to think outside of the box and postulate your own opinions despite what we are forced to learn.

I am not an expert as wheeler claims and seems to be with no real examples of credibility besides high praises of self teachings and collective ideas and well presented his own/"never before seen" set of experiments taken from data and teachings other out of the box thinkers such as Tesla and Schauberger, but being repetitive and claiming your own thoughts as the truth can only go so far especially without no real evidence of credentials except self claimed language translation expert and some form of college education can only go so far especially in an era and hype of "Professors" with a phd in google related searches and minor in Wikipedia studies proficiency.

My personal opinion is I highly recommend this to anyone so they can make their own thesis on this subject and what Wheeler claims to be right. WISDOM is gain through listening and observing not with closed biases of opinions, and if history has taught us anything is mainstream is most always proven wrong and any one should to be given a chance to not only tell but view such a well formulated and calculated chain of thoughts and experiments such as what is in this book. Humanity's ideas should always be reviewed and not shunned by others opinions and piss poor bias reviews like betaraygo and raygooin that isn't only an example of wrongful thinking but a poor example of why humanity is de-evolving and caught in a world of contradictions, miscalculations, and full of holes and paradoxes.

The only negative I have of the author is the repetitive nature with no real or clear example of importance of why we should be thinking about the facts brought forth are the right and correct way of teaching and learning. The only thing I truly obtained is the "stick it to the man/ governmental brain washing" and not why this "Secret" is of so much importance. But with that being said repetition is the only way thoughts can turn to action and action becomes second nature and if the government didnt want a free energy device and went to great links to destroy a reputation of a man(Tesla) who unselfishly wanted to give the world the gift that mother nature is naturally giving with unmetered and no charge then one can only assume what we are taught to believe is wrong and only hinders our ability to advance.

Thief of others work and nothing more.
Repackaging by a complete turd.
Learn of Viktor Schauberger and you have the originator of Ken Wheelers plagiarism of Magnetism as well as many of the things he hands people on his Youtube channel that are not original.
With this repackaging comes a severe lack of understanding presented by Viktor Schauberger and the many other things not being addressed when scum like Wheeler pick and choose what to push as their own as they leave so much out.

A complicated topic over my head but with review upon review and allowing children to read and listen they will understand his videos like a first language and will have a much better understanding then their parents. At least that is my hope.

The implications of this book have been reverberating rather uncomfortably in my mind for days. The literary standard and academic tone are as jarring as its emphatically repeated message to reject the bulk of quantum theory, general relativity, the standard particle model of physics and much of accepted cosmology. Yet, the proposition that emerges is groundbreaking, if taken into proper consideration.

Ken Wheeler draws upon ancient philosophy and the work of Faraday, Maxwell, Heaviside, Steinmetz and Tesla in formulating the premise that the prime cause for all of the known forces emanate from perturbations of the Ether, which is non-physical and existent in counter-space, that was widely accepted and necessary in the work of the listed innovators and that has roundly been rejected by the advent of quantum mechanics. What follows is an experiential/experimental analysis of the relationship between dielectricity and magnetism as expressed in geometry and interacting forces, leading to somewhat of a definition of both, and their relationship to electromagnetism.

Once established and defined, this relationship is then extended to redefine the nature and observed effects of ferromagnetic, diamagnetic and radioactive elements, conductors (dielectric reflectors), insulators (dielectric capacitors) and superconductors before addressing the toroidal structure of galaxies, molecular bonds, the hydrogen atom, gravity and light itself.

It would therefore be fair to say that the content is an inversion of physics as we know it, but yet accords well with other non-standard contemporary postulates that seek to unite physics with consciousness, science with ancient philosophy, the fractal-holographic view of the universe or even an information-based theory of physics (although I suspect that the author may be as disparaging of some of these proponents as much as Einstein or Feynman). If correct, the work may provide more substance to some of the mathematically abstract and empirically unproven forces or entities that make up our current cosmological view, such as dark energy and dark matter (hypothesised to explain observable effects) and may serve to flesh out the work of physicists and cosmologists in investigating black holes and their effects, amongst others.

A serious drawback in the writing, is the unfortunate tendency of the author to make frequent statements of opposition - many of which lead to contradiction. These are damaging to the core content of the work, which is more than sufficient in quality in both its investigations and findings to be plausible and worthy of serious consideration. Mr. Wheeler's style and approach makes it manifestly clear that he is not an academic, an apologist or a politically motivated physicist with his eyes on a prize. It is also clear that the book has not been edited or spruced up by a publisher. While this may alienate certain readers before the substance of the book emerges, I find these qualities to be indicators of sincerity, both with regards to the investigation and to the frustration felt with the state of established physics. Simultaneously, I am concerned that the author's supposition of opposition can only engender further exclusion from consideration, which is a travesty when considering the amount of work and time that have been committed to this transmission of knowledge.

My conclusion is that this book is of great value to those who are able to cast literary prejudice aside, those who are not too attached to a dogmatic view of physics or its luminaries, those who are comfortable with unlearning (even temporarily) what has become "established fact" and in particular those who seek to act upon knowledge rather than discuss it at length in "appropriate forums". To paraphrase C.G. Jung: "There is no coming to consciousness without pain". This would be just the book for that.

From this terrible book we're to believe blood is ferromagnetic but it is not. If it were, you would see it move under a microscope when a magnet is nearby. Everyone would die when having an MRI scan.

Simplex is indeed a word, but with the context in question, it means "composed of a single part", thus it obviously cannot be "more" or "less" simplex, it can only be simplex or not simplex; it is an absolute value.

Ken is far from concise; he also repeats himself 498498499484 times. Listen to his YouTube channel for proof of that if you find this book unreadable.

When this became about reviewing reviews, instead of reviewing the book, it was pretty apparent what was happening.

I eagerly await an idiot reviewing my review, instead of the book.

This book is amazing. It contains concise and simple explanations of observable phenomenon that is in fact consistent with the expectations of electrical engineering and real world electrical design. That right there puts it far ahead of most books on the subject but it goes much farther to explain the basic structure and successfully predicts many behaviors of magnetism that is not predicted by the "relative" explanations of magnets and their functions.

But the thing that compelled me to review this, is the down right horrible and blatantly ignorant review of this book by betargayo.

It should be removed, along with the users ability to review books. They start off talking about the Authors lack of mastery of the English language, specifically the use of the word "Simplex" which as far as betaraygo is concerned, is just a funny way to combine the words "simple and complex" well as betaraygo is so found of pointing out the use of google, let me suggest, that he take his own advice and take 5 minutes to google the word simplex and you will find that it not only has a meaning but it is exactly what the author is trying to show you about the geometry of magnets and their fields.

For the record, simplex: In geometry, a simplex (plural: simplexes or simplices) is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimensions.

Which if you have even a 12 year olds ability to understand English and comprehend what the Author of this book is telling you, it would become very obvious why he chose this word.

I find it outright offensive that people like betargayo take the time to review topics that are so far beyond their Kardashian level of understanding but can't take the time to even acquire the simple vocabulary required to understand a topic they are reading about.

Perhaps the adjectives used in this book wouldn't be so confusing if, as the author suggests, you google some of the definitions of words you don't understand.

The review of betargayo reflects nothing more than his own failings in life as most psychiatrists would point out based on the fallacies put forth in their review.

Skip the reviews, read the book. It's worth your time.

Unfortunately, Ken doesn't have a basic grasp of the English language. He should try to master his own language before taking on another.

He uses somewhat rare adjectives to put forth a point, but the adjectives are often used incorrectly. He talks about something being more or less simplex, but it's not possible to have something more or less simplex, likewise, you cannot be very pregnant. He's trying to sound special by using the word simplex, when really he should just say simple. This seems like a minor point, but he infects many sentences with the wrong adjectives. I think he does it for emphasis and it's also why he repeats himself, and ultimately, I think he knows in his heart that he doesn't know more than the average twelve year old.

The arguments he makes can be summed up into ten sentences. It's a book padded out with fluff content, ad hominem and straw man fallacies. His insults towards his superiors would fill up a book.

It's a strange book, written by an undoubtedly dishonest person with a grudge against those that succeeded in life. It talks about 20 years of research, yet on his photography YouTube channel (search the angry photographer), he speaks as if he's dedicated his life to photography.

Doing five minute Google searches and trying to lecture on the subject does not make you knowledgeable.

Way back in the day I used to ask professors smart-ass questions such as:

Is there a way to measure the electron mass directly? We can measure the charge mass RATIO but not the mass alone. Can we set up a circuit where we measure a conducting wire beforehand then flip a switch, have electrons "flowing" in the conducting wire and then somehow trap the electrons in the conductor and measure it afterwards? Is so, wouldn't the wire weigh more?

Why does Einstein general relativity model have an object emit gravity waves as it speed up? Isn't this conservation law violation?

How can one man build coral castle? haha.

Although Mr. Wheeler does not answer these questions directly his theories and experiments prove his model is more intuitive then today's dogma.

You wonder why there's no unifying theory? According to Mr Wheeler nature does not do math. HA!

This book was not an easy read. I will admit my brain had to unload a lot of junk I was taught and that may have inhibited free flow of logical explanations and/or my limited vocabulary in pythagorean reductionist terminology. In any case, I perused the material, re-read many parts that I did not understand. For others that may have the same troubles, I suggest reading this excellent work in conjunction with watching his video channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWMu0cndKl4&list=PLnilnjUumFqDMOeh3DVHd7QjZdObXBxxE

I cannot thank Mr Wheeler enough for leading me into a direction with his model in answering deep questions I've had about physics for a long time.

I am looking forward to any of his future research and any subsequent editions.

May the force be with you Mr Wheeler...

Thanks BMan18, (see above review) I thought I was the only one!
I was finding this book difficult to read at the start mainly because of Mr Wheelers seemingly random and angst filled style of writing, but bare with it because for those people who like me always found both physics and anything above basic math to be contradictory and counterintuitive, the substance of this book is a blessing and well worth the effort.
After 50 years of listening to popular so called scientific explanations that are full of gaping holes, groundless nonsensical assumptions that require unquestioning conformity but, leave one feeling unsatisfied and with the same old "I must have missed something here cos this guy is making NO sense at all" inner dialog, I find this book rewarding to read, the findings and explanations are sequentially and reciprocally self confirming.

Mr Wheeler is obviously very passionate about the dreadful crime that was and still is being perpetrated against us all by the industrial/military/scientific elitists and by the persecution and discreditation of our real scientific geniuses (the list is very long) by the same group and this does sometimes confuse the path he is guiding one along, however a good justified rant can be good for the soul and he really is doing something positive about the strangle hold these people have on Human development by spreading truth and common sense to ordinary people.
So good on him I say.

Ken's research is simply amazing and potentially could lead to a new paradigm in science that was envisioned by Tesla almost 100 years ago. I am a fan and cannot praise him enough for doing the work that he has done. I hope that one day we can talk, because there are numerous directions and benefits that this tech can produce; if what he has discovered is applied to the full extent that he has outlined in his text.

However, his text is nearly impossible to read for content because he consistently doesn't miss a chance to cap on the scientists of the day that were endorsed by the industrialists who capitalized on the first, and least efficient applications of electrical-magnetic technology. It is as if he is still fighting the battle to defend clear physical research in the face of the spin marketing of modern physics that was invented then to support the profiteering that is now controlling the world economies of today. Unlike the technology, this side of the argument needs no proof, it is the way our culture works. Social control through propaganda is effective and working. No need to review the history and insult the actors who became famous.

Then there is the constant repetition of the same points, which each time carry a slightly more detailed or descriptive feature of the various aspects of the nature of magnetism and dielectricty.

Certainly when someone is engaging a new concept, some basic familiarity is required before the more complex nuances can be understood. Typically a reader will make the effort to re-read the unclear parts. Ken forces the reader to re-read his declarations redundantly.

This would not be so bad, if he didn't start with a promise to disclose the information cleaning and concisely. For many I would imagine this will challenge their ability to consider Ken as a critical or effective thinker. Having written books on alternative thinking and science, I understand the challenges of putting text together that is contrary to the educational and cultural institutions which taught you to think. I understand the conflict and challenges that have infected Ken's text with distracting topics and compromised prose. It is an internal battle to tell truths that others have been conditioned to ignore. One that either should be addresed separately or dropped altogether if you're actually trying to communicate new knowlege.

For me, it's worth the effort to plow through the fog of redundancies and pot shots at Einstein and the like. Give the guy a break, he was a poor civil employee and took a $1M payoff. Of course he'll change his tune in line with his benefactors. Fame and wealth is very seductive for those who have had to suffer the drudgery of mindless obedience. It has been our choice to follow the BS that is peddled by our learning institutions for the same reasons: get the grades, get the job, pay the bills. Few of us can afford to step up in line with the truth or see the need for major change that challenges the real power of our society.

Hopefully those who can understand Ken's work will push through the distractions because we need this tech, the real tech of the world, to enable a future that we can all live with. This isn't about credibility or who was more right, Einstein or Tesla, it's about finding working solutions for the problems of our time. That's not going to happen if we stick with Einstein's imaginary reality. There's no future in it. We have to look beyond that paradigm, and Ken's holds much more promise.

Keep pressing Ken. You're on the right track. Don't look back so much, what's behind you doesn't concern you.
With respect,
BMan18
